Our dried pitted dates are intensely sweet and wonderfully chewy. A sacred fruit of the ancients, dates were

considered a fruit of peace and prosperity. Pitted dates got their name from the Spanish missionaries who

brought them when setting up California' missions, leaving them to flourish throughout the region. High in

calcium and iron, one serving of dates also provides you with 20% of your daily dietary fiber.

Bake them into fig bars and take them to work for a heathy, mid-day snack.
